Once upon a time staying up till 5 in the morning would have bothered me, at least I think it must have, I can't really remember when that time was. my current theory is as long as I'm asleep before the sun starts to come up I'm ok, which is something I actually failed in last night, but you can't win them all. between messing around with the colours for this blog (i finally threw together a color scheme that doesn't instantly make me cringe, though I'm not sure about that light blue in the background), and flipping back and forth between the history channel and adult swim there was just no time to sleep. not that it really matters, I work 3:30pm till midnight, I'd be hard pressed to oversleep and be late for work.
heh, if by some miracle I did oversleep and was late for work they'd never even notice if it wasn't for that damned time machine, not the clock, the one below it where I swipe my card through. I don't actually do anything at work, I'm there for 8 hours, things I do that can actually be considered work take up maybe four hours, maybe, that's if I actually put my mind to it. an average day at work for me consists of a couple of hours walking around trying to look like I'm working, hanging outside in the smoking area chatting with the security guard, playing final fantasy on my gameboy, calling people on my cellphone, and just to keep things interesting I do actual work in between all this slacking. which I'd like to say isn't actually slacking on my part, I get all of my work done,there just isn't 8 hours worth of work for me to do each day.
First job I've had thats been like that, the aquarium kept me busy; at the various coffee shops there was always something I could be doing; the daycare... if I had even thought about taking my eyes off those kids for 5 seconds the world would most likely have ended; the kitchen, well I spent most of my time trying to hide from my crazy manager. I don't like it, at first I spent a lot of time worrying that somebody's going to figure out just how little I do there, then I realized that nobody else really does all that much work either that did soothe my troubled mind a bit. still, it gnaws at me, our dept just had our budget cut and my 90 day review is coming up which means that for another week or so they can lay me off without having a reason, so I'm getting worried again, but we persevere. Out of curiosity, are there any songs that put going to work in such a happy light as the one the seven dwarves sing? every song I can think of about work and going to work is rather negative, I guess if I owned a diamond mine I might be cheerful about going to work too.
Today at work i'll be playing final fantasy 6 all throughout the day, reading South of the Border, West of the Sun on my break. then comes my favorite part of the day my walk home with my ipod, I think today will be a Bowie day.
